Off Duty: Stories of a Parson on Leave is a collection of short stories written by Charles Wright and published in 1884. The book follows the adventures of a fictional parson who takes a break from his duties to explore the world and experience new things. Each story is a self-contained episode that showcases the parson’s wit, humor, and wisdom as he interacts with people from all walks of life. From encounters with thieves and gamblers to visits to exotic locales, the parson’s experiences are both entertaining and enlightening. The book is a charming and insightful look at life in the late 19th century, and it offers readers a glimpse into the mind of a man who is both a man of the cloth and a man of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
